1. I left the beloved of my heart, not out of boredom,
But for a sin that necessitated abandonment.

2. He wanted a partner in our love,
While my heart's faith forbade me from polytheism.

3. Yet I am still intoxicated by his charm,
As musk leaves its fragrance on the one who grinds it.

4. My beloved was the thread of my necklace of love,
Oh what sorrow - the thread is gone and the necklace is empty.
